Wildfires also love dead trees, and left standing the fire will climb that tree creating a crown fire. A standing tree will send ambers hundreds of feet ahead of the fire starting new spot fires intensifying the fire making it spread more rapidly and harder to get under control. If brought down the tree will hold moisture be less flamable, decompose and will have tons of life in it probably even more then if it were to be left standing..
Very helpful video! I have a poplar tree with peeling bark and ants under the bark. The tree has foliage and no dead limbs. I will continue keeping an eye on it.
to be honest with you I cut down a tree last winter that was growing near my grandfathers old camper, but as of right now, i went back and the tree i cut down is growing roots, the tree i killed is growing, I need answers right now.
Do you do consults for trees that are in poor health? I have a handful of trees with some fire damage that are declining slowly. This damage is years old which is why I say slowly. They're is bark damage on the trunks. Can you help me figure out how to save these 30+ yr old trees?

Hi, we purchased a home with a very large 120+ year old Silver Maple in our back yard. It is only 10-15 feet from the house. Here in Minneapolis we've been in a years long drought. It has had some die back on a few smaller limbs but most of the outer canopy is healthy looking. One arborist suggested cutting it down, and another suggested just watering it regularly and monitoring it regularly. Do you think I am in any imminent risk? Or should I monitor and water?
It is difficult to know for sure without personally inspecting the tree. If you don't have any major signs of damage, decay, or a heavy lean you are probably not in imminent risk and yes water will definitely help with the stress brought on by the drought and improve the health of the tree. I know it might be annoying but getting anther inspection done by an ISA Certified Arborist, with a Tree Risk Assessment Qualification knowledge of trees specific to your area should give you a definitive answer and help with a plan to care for your tree.
Just a question: my giant Christmas tree was dying because the previous renter did not water it for two years, and the weather gets really dry in Calgary, and it is on the south side, getting a lot of sun in the Summer. I have been taking care of it, watering it and I saw it reviving, with more and more green on most branches, but the condo board had condemned it a month ago and cut it down a few days ago. I was so sad. They cut the trunk pretty low, but it looks healthy and not rotten at alll. Is there a way that leaves and new branches can come out of it with care, water and fertilizer or does this happen mostly with cut down maples?
Having good soil and regular water will be helpful but Conifers have a hard time coming back like deciduous tress can, so it is unlikely. We will have to wait and see what the tree does.
Question for anybody that can help me. I have a spring in the back part of my property here in Texas. That spring feeds into a small creek that goes through my backyard. A lot of the trees on either side of the creek are dying, or atleast I think they are. Their roots are breaking off easily, any wind and big branches are constantly cracking off. My question is, during the winter should I leave all the leaves around the trees? I feel like maybe the reason they're not doing good is because of too much dead leaves. If anybody can offer some guidance let me know, thanks!
@Leaf & Limb thank you for the reply. Even if there's like a TON of leaves? I just get worried if my trees are not doing good from severe wood boring beetle damage that it's gonna hurt it more.
@@tex_gil117 The leaves will not cause any issues. It sounds like there may be some things happening there that do need to be addressed, but leaves are most def not one of them. If anything, they will help the trees defend against beetle damage
In first year or 2 after planting yes, but once a tree has established they generally should be fine without watering. Unless you are experiencing a drought.

Excellent well done video. Packed with useful Trre information.
Great video and love the Hawaiian shirt, makes me feel like its spring already :)
Wow, Nature is quite nobel
Good explanation. Thanks.

Nice info just be more mindful of safety especially showing others what to do. Safety first

How to save it ?

Are there any diseases (in the US) that would label a tree for immediate removal even if they aren't severely showing the signs you listed?
Yes, there are some invasive pests that could require immediate removal of the tree. These would vary by region (assuming they exist at all)
❤excellent information!
I like the hammer method. I will try this

Sir how to revive dead or dying tree 🌲🌴🌲🌴

Most definitely leave the leaves. These help rebuild the soil and make it healthy.

@Leaf & Limb perfect, thank you! We enlisted the help of 8 chickens and 3 ducks. They have been having a bug buffet!
Am I supposed to be watering my trees?
In first year or 2 after planting yes, but once a tree has established they generally should be fine without watering. Unless you are experiencing a drought.
Dead trees attrack termites and carpenter ants.
I never cut down any tree! Let fall on people who want it down!
Not good tapping on a dead tree with no helmet or even to continue conversation with no safety in mind. Heads up
CUT THE DEAD TREE DOWN YOU TREE HUGGER, geez even a dead tree? Get real granola boy
Bots will be bots!
